Jane_Doe Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 personally im the same in both i've always been told if your good at patterns you'll be good at sparring to! so what about you guys?this is not about what you've won for each TAE: to jump, kick or smash with footKWON: A fist-to punch or distroy with the hand or fistDO: is an art, way or method
thurockk Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I don't know about anyone else, but at times I feel decent at both, other times I feel insufficient at both. Do or Do Not, There is No Try- Yoda
ItalianMuayThai Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 definately sparring when i was in tkd, probaly because i was more enthusiastic about it then i was forms. ~ You first mistake is to underestimate ~
Sam Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 abuot even... sparring starting to get better now as im devotign a bit more time to it.
lucifersdad Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 probably forms,i compete in both to a decent level but i think i have more of a love for forms so i seem to take more in forms sections! sticks and stones may break my bones, but i am trained to kill you.
Sam Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I wouldnt say good patterns practitioners are good at sparring as a rule, just that good students are good at both...... if u see what i mean.
Kaminari Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I'm better at forms, in my opinion, probably because I spend a lot more time doing them. I prefer kata to sparring, although I think that sparring teaches more practical lessons than kata.
Menjo Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Iam better at patterns since in shotokan ive only now reached the level of full sparing "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
Hawkeye Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I was better at forms (kata) earlier on but that was because I was able to practice them more. Since I've been able to spar more, I would say that I'm about equal in ability now. Every timely action will bring results ... Without difficulty. Every untimely endeavor will fail ... If the moment is premature or if the right moment is missed. - The Tree Poem
